What employee with the right to choose their own working hours has not felt the silent weight of critical reproach from their colleagues or their boss when they arrive later than most at work? Although this is a form of social control that seems widespread in the world of French flexitime, it is a subject that has so far received very little scholarly attention in research on day-to-day temporalities. Yet in the era of flexible working hours, the persistence of daily peak commuting periods could be partly explained by the presence of implicit timekeeping norms in the workplace. In this article, therefore, we try to demonstrate the existence of ‘social norms on working hours’ that continue to put pressure on flexitime workers to arrive at the office at the same time as their colleagues. Drawing on a field survey conducted in big companies in the Paris region, we show that there exist two types of social norms on working hours that directly contribute to morning peak-time transport congestion: ‘the norm of the disciplined worker’ and the ‘norm of the dedicated executive’.

关于公共交通工作时间和高峰时间的社会规范。

哪个有权选择自己工作时间的员工在比大多数人上班迟到时没有感受到来自同事或老板的批评指责的无声重量？尽管这是一种社会控制形式，在法国弹性时间领域似乎很普遍，但迄今为止，在日常时间研究中，这一主题很少受到学术界的关注。然而，在弹性工作时间的时代，每天通勤高峰期的持续存在可以部分解释为工作场所隐含的计时规范的存在。因此，在本文中，我们试图证明“关于工作时间的社会规范”的存在继续迫使弹性工作人员与同事同时到达办公室。
